Additional Notes

This is a scheduled maintenance release for prioritised defect fixes and improvements, including an International Drools Rules (v1.16) update, but also marks a significant step as it moves the classification process into a new external stand-alone service.

Whilst compatibility and consistency with the "internal" (SnowOwl) classification results was a key goal for the new external service, there are some differences in the handling of concept equivalencies which should be noted. With the new classification service, a cloned equivalent concept is inferred as the new parent of the original concept, whereas previously the original concept was not changed. Furthermore, the original concept should also be a subconcept of the cloned concept.

This is the normal representation of equivalency between two concepts. The equivalent concepts are still highlighted and displayed side by side in a single row in the classification results. The details of their inferred relationships are not important, however, since the equivalency must be resolved to progress with the concept/task, and the new inferred relationships will be eliminated once the equivalency is fixed and re-classified.

This change aligns the classification results with the proper logic representation of equivalence, but authors should note and be aware of the differences when creating new content that involves resolving equivalencies.
